About this House

This neighborhood was the last planned community by Frederick Law Olmsted the designer for Central Park in NYC and the updated Boston Commons. His philosophy was to design a mix of residences within a wooded setting with winding streets "to encourage liesurely walks." The neighborhood still reflects his design principles. This street is only 800 from the Atlantic Ocean, so you can enjoy both the ocean and breezy woodlands on the property itself.
